November 4, 2015 (Chicago, Ill.) — The REALTORS® Land Institute collaborates twice a year with the research department of the National Associations of REALTORS® to create a biannual Land Markets Survey. This survey is a one-of-a-kind report that benefits the entire land industry and contains pertinent statistics about the current state of the land market. The survey also compares current findings with past findings, setting benchmarks for the industry and revealing new insights to land professionals.

Terri Jensen, ALC Advanced, 2015 Institute National President of REALTORS® Land Institute, shared “This tool provides insight into the land industry’s many market segments: farm & ranch land, timber, development land, transitional land, and other market segments such as auction and private treaty sales, as well as investor activity. The results of this market survey can be used with your expansion buyers, investors, and 1031 exchange buyers – it’s a great marketing tool!”

To put forth the most accurate, authentic and comprehensive results possible, expert land professionals are encouraged to take the survey before it closes on November 20. All participants will receive a FREE electronic copy of the survey upon its release and will be entered into a drawing for one of two $50 AMEX Gift Cards. The 2015 Land Markets Survey is an instrumental tool for land professionals around the globe, no matter what industry of the land market they serve, and participation is greatly appreciated.
